Sad Eyes On My Block

"Pardon?" Keegan pinched the bridge of his nose. "We were supposed to do this subtly, Eva. You don't just drop this kind of news like a bombshell." Eva didn't look remorseful. "He needs to know the truth." "Truth? What are you talking about?" Travis asked. Realizing Eva's hand was still in his, he withdrew it. Keegan shifted his gaze to Travis. He sighed and took out his phone. He said as he typed. "This is the DNA test result we carried out with your sample." He handed him the phone. With a frown, Travis's eyes scanned the screen. His eyes widened. The results stated that their DNA samples matched. How could he be a child of the Novaks? *** Travis's life was pretty much ordinary and average until one fateful night took the life of his adoptive father. He woke up in a mansion and they told him his biological father was the head of the Novaks, one the most influential family in the country. But it isn't a dream come true. Is he ready for the dangerous game of wealth, betrayal and secrets that comes with this new heritage?

After the death of Alpha Rey Reed Smith, he opened his eyes, only to find himself in another realm; the realm of the ancient gods. Rey Reed Smith opened his eyes and found himself on the salt sea shore with no memories of his past life, where he came from, or where he was going. However, he was lucky to be adopted by two brothers, Garry and Gaius. As Rey started seeking a way to recover his lost memories, he was caught in the affairs of the middle land. He discovered that everyone in the middle land was suffering from the curse of their first Alpha. Slowly, the curse started generating, affecting the two brothers that helped Rey on the beach, leaving Rey no choice but to help his friends. When Rey was deeply engrossed trying to break the curse, he discovered that it might be the key for him to return to his realm. But with the multiple trouble from Sebastian Stan, the dark Alpha of the middle land, and Dylan Knoll, a distant cousin of Xavier Knoll who is back to avenge his brother’s death and unleash the wrath of Xavier on the people, Rey might find himself biting more than he can chew.

I’m Gareth Wells, which simply means Gentle Spring. I died in my first life full of regrets, pain, sadness, and sorrows, but now I’ll not be the gentle spring but the storm that will take everyone who looked down, insulted, and made my hellish life bow down to me.

I grew up with nothing just me, my mom, and the empty ache where a father should've been. I’d always thought he was some nameless stranger, long gone and dead. Then, right after I claw my way into this elite university on scholarship, my world shatters. Turns out my father wasn’t some faceless nobody he was William Cross, a billionaire, one of the world’s wealthiest men, and now he’s dead, leaving me his empire.It should’ve been a blessing, but it’s a curse. The “System” he left with his legacy gives me skills I desperately need but at a cost agonizing pain that feels like it’s tearing me apart from the inside. And now, as I stand alone, surrounded by powerful enemies who want me destroyed, I realize that inheriting billions might be the thing that finally breaks me.

“Attention, everyone,” The reporter's voice cut through the air on the television and radio. “A severe thunderstorm with extreme lightning will hit the city tonight. The metrological department predicts that this lightning is likely to produce a high-power outage. Please, everyone, stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. Be safe.”  Within a few minutes, the warning became a reality. A massive lightning strike split the sky with a loud noise lasting for 5 minutes. Everyone in the house squeezed their eyes shut, clamping their hands over their ears in primal fear.   Then, just as suddenly, everything went blank--- Not just the lights, but all sensation, leaving only a profound darkness and death silence.  When their eyes opened, everything seemed dark, no buildings, no vehicles, no familiar faces--- only the towering trees of a dense forest surrounded them.    Before the confusion could completely overwhelm them.  The beam of light flashed in the dark, and an AI automatic voice announced: “Welcome to Game of Earth Signs”. "Earth Signs Game" story based on psychological thriller and survival. 250+ people are trapped in a deadly arena, forced to survive terrifying challenges based on Water, Air, Fire, Sky, and Land, including puzzles, riddles, memory tests, and brutal physical trials.

How do you feel about life? Is it the purpose? Is it because everything must have a purpose? Explore the deep character of a creature, in search of the meaning of life. Commander Tatiana and her team explore the deepest parts of the Andromeda Galaxy. "From that moment, my existence became purposeless. I had no reason to exist. I started wandering around, going from one-star system to another without any objective. There were no directives in my command-level database so shutting myself down was impossible. I also could not simply jump into a star which would cause self-destruction because my self-preservation directive was still in place. So, my main objective became to observe the remaining organic species from a distance. Most organic species used to avoid me. I always threw a ping at the passing ships but as Yolin once said, it would be very “Organic” to be “afraid” of a 10km long sentient starship that has weapons which can destroy a planet. I however didn’t know the concept of fear. I had a directive not to harm organics, so I had to follow them. Fear is not in my database." Maybe you can find the deeper meaning of those words. What starts with a simple exploration journey, becomes something more.

He couldn’t believe it, his eyes blurred out in shock. The money was real. Sitting in his Nova wallet. Forty billion dollars for someone who had never even held five thousand dollars in his account before. He laughed before he could control himself. A broken, breathy laugh. He was still sitting on a cracked chair, in a small room, with nothing but a broken, crappy laptop, and yet, in at that moment, he was one of the richest people on earth.

“Make a wish,child,or you die!” Laquan squinted his eyes in confusion. The old man’s words and attitude clearly took him off guard. “Uh... Excuse me?” he scoffed. The old man is either a con artist or he himself is hungry and is definitely hearing things “Don't you wanna get rich son?” Quan's brows shot up at the word ‘rich’ His mind drifted to how he's been humiliated in the past and,he unconsciously fisted his fingers. “I want to be powerful.” He breathed out, one could see and hear the desperation in his eyes and voice. “It's a done deal then.

Deep within the shadows of the supernatural world, a prophecy had long been whispered, foretelling the rise of a king who would reign supreme over all. The three most powerful kings of the land, each convinced of their own worthiness, eagerly awaited the arrival of this chosen one. But when the destined king finally emerged, it was not from the grand halls of a mighty kingdom, but from the humble and forgotten Green Valley. And his name was Rudolph. The three kings were taken aback, their plans thrown into disarray. They could not allow this upstart to take the throne, and so they plotted and schemed, their eyes fixed firmly on Rudolph. As chaos descended upon the land, with the three kings unleashing their armies upon anyone who dared to stand in their way, Rudolph vanished into the night. For twenty long years, the kingdoms were plagued by strange disappearances and unexplained events. Panic gripped the people, and the three kings grew ever more paranoid. It was during a tense meeting between the rulers that Rudolph finally reappeared, his eyes flashing with fury. He had returned to seek revenge and he would stop at nothing to claim his rightful place as king of the supernaturals.
